@barbcarra - Congrats to the whole Carra family on yesterday's result!
This was a powerful learning moment for me, and I'm grateful to @cybera for creating this opportunity. There's so much still to do to bring about reconciliation with Indigenous People, but I feel like we're finally ready to listen, accept what happened, & earnestly move forward.
This past month, @cybera began a journey to learn more about Canada’s history and its impact on Indigenous people, leading up to our first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Our goal is to pursue a deeper understanding of how to be meaningful about reconciliation. 1/4
I'm reading "Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World" by @lfspinney right now. Very excited to hear her speak on this timely topic!

This morning was exciting for rural and Indigenous communities and for all of those who have been advocating for better connectivity in our province as we announced up to $150 million to improve broadband. alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=7… #ableg
Was so happy to see the great turnout to last night's mentorship night, and the positive support from so many in our community!
Great work to @mehamp, @jayelleh and @DigitalAlberta for hosting the speed #networking #mentorship night. #yql #yeg #yyc
So fascinating to see platforms that were originally invented to create a more immersive video game experience take on different (sometimes life-saving) applications. Also great to see tech like this being developed right here in #AB !
Gaming tech used to simulate a real-world pandemic. This is a DA member story of UK-based @Improbableio.

Great to have the opportunity to talk to @GlobalEdmonton about the internet crisis facing many rural Canadians. I'm proud to be part of an organization that is working on finding solutions to this issue, including co-hosting this week's Rural Connectivity Forum #ARCF21
We’re seeing tens of thousands of Albertans struggle to access adequate internet. Thanks to @GlobalEdmonton for having @mehamp on yesterday to talk about this issue. We’ll be exploring ways to address the internet gaps in #AB at this week’s #ARCF21 ow.ly/TJf550E5mv4
Had a lot of fun chatting with Sarah and Colin about the game they built in Excel(!!), and then trying to make my way through the labrynth. (I'm still stuck on level 5!)
A father-daughter team in Calgary spent their COVID downtime doing what many people would have thought impossible: building a video game in Microsoft Excel. @mehamp tells us more in this latest blog post.
